The eclectic art and decor pays homage to Mexican-American culture and provides a warm, colorful atmosphere. Pros: tasty coffee, fair pricing, friendly customer service, welcoming atmosphere Cons: limited parking, limited sizing options All in all I was very happy with my experience at De Corazon (even went back the next day!) and pleasantly surprised to see that they partner with Burritos De Tu Madre -- which offer tasty pre-made mini burritos to accompany your cafecito. Support local. Support family. Support De Corazon.

We got the Banana Mocha latte and an iced Chai. The employees were very kind and even brought out our drinks to where we were sitting. The drinks tasted awesome and I definitely want to return to try out more drinks.

Came here again on a Sunday for a meet up. Line wasn't long at all, I get nervous ordering as many…read moreothers do. So, I forgot to mention the size I wanted, which is 10 oz. The lady working automatically put in 16 oz since I didn't specify. I would have liked if she asked me. And I also thought that they let you choose between 2 diff beans in the latte, but then again she didn't ask so maybe that was just a one time thing (the time I went with my brother, there was flavor profile breakdown and all that). Anyways, I got the $8.89, Iced Vanilla Lavender Latte with dairy milk. They don't accept cash unless they can around the number up (I guess maybe if you order non dairy milk it will come out as an even number? Idk). I think the price is not worth the quality that you receive. It was mainly milk and couldn't even taste the espresso. A very very faint lavender taste. I think they need to rework their vanilla lavender syrup, maybe look into some culinary grade lavender as that is super fragrant. Whatever they use or the ratios doesn't come through at all. Another thing I wouldn't recommend ordering is the matcha. My friend ordered his with a little bit of sweetener and he said he couldn't taste the matcha at all, and it just tasted like milk. It was disappointing. However, my other friends, rave about Torque Coffee saying it's one of their favorites. If you tend to order espresso, pour overs, cold brews, & sparkling espresso drinks -- Torque Coffee is a spot to come to. In addition, I think the owners are really nice and they do think of their customers. I saw that they added more seating and benches outside their space. And I believe the owner brought out extra chairs and a table for us to sit as more people started to arrive. They even had a little bowl of water for dogs. The interior had some things moved around and it felt more spacious! I think if you DON'T order lattes and matcha, this spot is the place to go for you.

They still keep a bit of that charm with cute little gifts, merch, and bags of their own roasted beans available to purchase.

The employees were very friendly, which always makes the experience better. A nice neighborhood spot if you're in the area.

The menu is very simple and straight forward. The coffee is brewed fresh daily in their multiple drip pots which explains why its so delicious.

A great place to come and read a book or chat it up with friends. If you want authentic vietnamese coffee, look no further than Saigon Coffee

I overheard her cheerfully explaining the menu to different curious customers who needed a little more help finding what to get. I'm very familiar with the different types of drinks you'll find in a Viet cafe and they have a pretty small menu with all the favorites. I got the Hanoi Egg Coffee! It's sweet, strong, and incredibly creamy. I absolutely love Vietnamese egg coffee and order it pretty often, and this one is just so delicious and well balanced. Saigon Coffee is for sure a stand out for delicious coffee!

I…read moretried it for the first time this week and liked it so much I went a second time with my wife a couple days after. Almost all the tables were filled when we came in on a Friday afternoon. We saw who we assume is the owner go up and talk to every table and appeared to actively avoided our's. It's hard to not take it personal since we were the only openly queer family at the cafe. Hot pistachio latte: 4/5. I appreciated that the pistachio did not taste burnt. It tasted well roasted, but wish it was a smidge sweeter. Iced pistachio latte: 5/5. Once mixed, this latte was delicious. The pistachio flavor was so strong and was very tasty. Double pistachio baklava: 5/5. Delicious and liked the pistachios being so finely chopped. Strawberry honey cake: 3/5. The sweetness level and texture was perfect, but it tasted like artificial strawberry. It's a solid place, but the management really turned us off.
